The, All-South Conference at Mem phis, extended, an invitation to the Nation to travel through the South in going- to the Panama Canal Exposition to be held at San Francisco. That is abotlt the biggest invitation that has ever been sent out, but it was prepar ed by the Hon., G. Grosvenor Dawe, who wants the people of the Nation to see something on their way to Frisco. Parties who accept the invi tation should get stop-over tickets via Wilmington and see the Nation's Gar den Spot The Nation certainly ought to take in its garden spot. The Raleigh Times observes: "The President expressed surprise in his Denver .speech that the American peo pie 'do not belieye in the sincerity of Republican promises.' .. Tbene need be no occasion for surprise, since the Re publican party does not keep its prom ises."? The President and the Times are both mistaken, from different an gles.

Robertson, a former highly esteemed resident of Wilming ton; now 'sojourning in" Charlotte tfll wejican get .him; interested in the 'Back- to-Wilmington movement, arrived in the city yesterday. Ooutside the in teresting, purpose of his .visit, hundreds of Wilmlngtonians gave him a most cordial greeting" because of his great popularity with the people of this city, r- ' V( . " i5C0inx:idental '- with 'The Star's edi torial urging perfect drainage of the city and especially emphasizing the mportance , of eliminating the branch nown as "Macomber's Ditch," Major Robertson has come to Wilmington in view of the proposition to sub-drain that .watw course and to make a mag nificent boulevard and playground of several ' blocks of Fourteenth street through which ihat. malororous wateri waylet meanders to its junction with Sm,tk's Creela t , ' ' . v '-- This boulevard and playground scheme heretofore has been exploited n The'Star and only a few days ago t was under consideration at a meet- ng of the City Council. A number of pr9minent citizens representing - the Wilmington Playgrpundi .ssociatiim, appeared jpelore the xiounen ana urg ed the attractive proposition embraced in the plans for getting rid of a nuis ance and substituting it with a splen did thoroughfare and playground sucn ns was mentioned in detail in the pro-. ceedingbi theTXity Council - several days ago. ' ' ' Major Robertson is one of the best known engineers in the bouth Atlantic States and he has been brought to WH' mington to loota over the proposition to cover up: the course of Macomber's Ditch and construct a beauty spot for Wilmington. It , has been estimated that it will cost $20,000 to drain and cover the branch and construct a broad and handsome boulevard in accordance with the elaborate plans its contemplation. Major Robertson will make a survey in a few. days and from a casual view of the matter, hel s satisfied the expense can be cut down to a minimum that will ,accom plish the purpose. .The plans for the boulevard ,have been drawn, and already two squares have been deeded for playgrounds,, one for white and one for colored children, The square . for whftes is locate be tween Fourteenth, fifteenth, Orange and Ann streets, and .one tor colored children, - between Thirteenth,- - - Four teenth, Princess and Chesnut streets, The -deeds for these -properties have already passed, and those behind the plans are thoroughly in earnest This is a matter in which all the city is interested and The Star hopes somv.way will Jbe .-found to carry..out the noteworthy Improvement at a reas od able cost ..; : 4 GINGER IN NORTH CAROLINA. The Henderson Gold Leaf mentions that some real ginger is being grown in the town of Henderson, Vance county, and our esteemed contempora ry. goes on to tell how it came about that it was .ascertained that the root will grow in that section of our State. The Gold Leaf says: "Mrs. T. H. Hill, of this place, has eight-stalks of It growing in a flower pot- in her yard. A few months ago, while she was at Norfolk she found among a lot of ginger on the market five or six roots in the green stage. She brought them home and planted them -about the 6th of August They soon ..sprouted and , .began to grow Some' of the stalks are now over two feet high and look like young canes with narrow reedy leaves about' three inches long. The odor of the plant is nearly as strong as that of the 'dry pulverized ginger root. This foreign plant seems to have the merit of ex treme hardiness and easy culture, and to be adapted to this soil and climate, Mrs. Hill thinks that her little crop of ginger . is going to yield several times, the number of roots planted." It - is hard to tell what won't grow In- North Carolina, and especially in the sub-tropical portion of it in eastern North Carolina. No doubt ginger, or ris ro6t and other merchantable crops we never think of can be profitably grown in v this 'portion of the State, The tea plant flourishes in the soil around Wilmington, for plants in front yards in this city have grown to enor mous size without any care whatever. We understand that In Bladen county tea plants set put forty years or more ago, have sprung up in various places and that the tea plants seem to thrive in spite of the fact that no attention is paid to them. The fact is, a whole lot of products which .might grow here" have never been experimented with, while there are numerous valuable products that we know will flourish in this, region are totally neglectedi Our Agricultur al Department ought to have a real test and experimental farm in eastern North Carolina, for itcould be conduct ed without 'any expense "whatsoever. Such a farm can be made to pay for its own operation. On the experimen tal farm in Pender county this year, the State madea big profit growing lettuce. '-"-." ' ' ' ' By the way, several vegetable pro ducts of China grow to profusion in the trucking section around . Wilming ton.- A number of thrifty Chinamen are getting rich growing Chinese veg etables for the Chinese consumers- in New York, Philadelphia- and other large American cities.

' ' - " . . - ' The Raleigh Times is urging an in dustrial campaign for the Capital1 City, since Raleigh will have at its dispo sition electric power that may be soon W utilized for industrial purposes. Says the Times: V v - With the advent .of so much: elec tric power, Raleigh should not neg lect the opportunity that presents it self for the starting, up of small man ufacturing industries. . A city cannot have too many of these industries or too' varied an assortment. The mate rials are here and the power is here and it will-add-Tastly.o thenrosper- ityjof the city-to get power and mate rials togetner ana turn, raw material Into the.hished product.

Weneed the imcome from the sale of the finished product The mpney,-thus put ; in .circulation , would keep . things'" 'humming j and would add to. the prosperity of every business and of every citizen. We must have these things for permanent prosperity. The city is. alive now and building is going on on every side, but when these new buildings are. all completed, what, then? We cannot keep on put ting Up new business blocks forever unless we keep putting up buildings for industrial enterprises as well. Al tera'-city v reaches a certain stage in it growth it has to depend on the addition of new industries for further growth, and these cause expansion in all directions." The. argument .by our esteemed Ra leigh contemporary will Apply to Wil mington 'Our . citizens .'should never slop thinking about the importance of industries, and we should at once re new our get-factories campaign.
